Be true—to your school colours, to your school of thought. That's been the ethos driving the Nike Dunk since it launched in 1985. Back then, seven college basketball teams broke an unwritten rule and matched their Dunks to their uniforms. A riot of colour ensued and the Nike Dunk has been a symbol of inulidual expression ever since. Players, skaters and collectors all picked up on the shoe—and continue to influence it today.
